[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]no conspiracy theory -- just speculation.

The DCPS leaders are such obvious losers, why are they still in control?  Why does  the Washington Post still support them?[/quote]

First, your speculation is a conspiracy theory; they are not mutually exclusive terms.

Second, they are still in control for the same reasons that half of city employees (and half the city council) still have their jobs.  The electorate doesn't care.  More accurately, the portion of the electorate that wants meaningful change lacks a leader to unify it, and as a result, they splinter into factions, allowing the status quo to continue.

It will probably happen again next year.  Tommy Wells, while well-intentioned, lacks the gravitas and charisma to unite everyone who didn't vote for Anita Bonds.  I'm not exactly sure why Jack Evans thinks there is a market for old, establishment white guys city-wide, but every vote for him is a vote against change.  Bowser can't compete with Wells in Ward 6, and without that treasure trove of old Fenty supporters, she can't win.  Who does that leave?  Could I interest you in a second term of Vince Gray?
